I had in mind that the absolute counts were low in comparison to the excess heat that was being reported at one point (COP 1.2), rather than that the counts were insignificant or at the threshold of noise. Also, the solid angle of the detector which was sufficiently removed so as > to not suffer bad heating means that the overall total flux integrated over > 4pi was sizeable. > This gets to the challenge of needing to show that the photons were sourced from the live cell. This would be made easier with time resolution of the counts (which you mention) and a correlation with another dependent or independent variable. If not excess power, then perhaps something else.
